Malachi 3:16-18
Legacy Standard Bible
The Book of Remembrance
16 Then those who [a]feared Yahweh spoke to one another, and Yahweh (A)gave heed and heard it, and a (B)book of remembrance was written before Him for those who [b]fear Yahweh and who think upon His name. 17 “And they will be (C)Mine,” says Yahweh of hosts, “on the (D)day that I [c]prepare My [d](E)own treasured possession, and I will [e]spare them as a man [f](F)spares his own son who serves him.” 18 So you will return and (G)see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.

Common English Bible
The scroll of remembrance
16 Then those revering the Lord,
each and every one, spoke among themselves.
The Lord paid attention and listened to them.
Then a scroll of remembrance was written before the Lord
about those revering the Lord,
the ones meditating on his name.
17 On the day that I am preparing,
says the Lord of heavenly forces,
they will be my special possession.
I will spare them just as parents spare a child who serves them.
18 You will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked,
between those serving God and those not serving him.
